We are often flooded with notifications and messages across different platforms. When planning your time and working throughout the day, it can be hard to focus on one thing at a time. One of the most powerful ways to use IFTTT is to create streamlined notification channels to receive the information that matters to you at relevant times.
Gmail has two actions, the option to send an email, and to send an email to yourself. Sending an email provides you the option to send a message to up to twenty recipients from your Gmail account. The ability to send emails in this way means you can automate elements that you would share anyways. Example scenarios include sending mentions of your brand online to your coworkers or forwarding articles you loved to a friend.

Email digest Applets
Creating an email digest as a way to receive information can help you reduce the number of notifications you receive and organize items in a format that you receive at a cadence that you determine. If you want daily updates from your favorite news source, the email digest can deliver that just in time for your morning coffee. Or, get an update about top sports stories right before you have a weekly meeting with a passionate colleague.
